REVISIÓN DE MODELOS PREDICTIVOS DE ESPECIES EN EL CONTROL BIOLÓGICO
Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2012 <p>Parasitic wasps are a fundamental part of integrated pest management (IPM) and biological control, although basic knowledge of its distribution and biology are unknown for most groups and species. Predictive models provide an approximate distribution of the species in not sampled areas.

Consensus and controversy in the discipline of invasion science
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Approaches, values, and perceptions in invasion science are highly dynamic, and like in other disciplines, views among different people can diverge. This has led to debate in the field specifically surrounding the core themes of values, management, impacts, and terminology.

A stochastic model for estimating sustainable limits to wildlife mortality in a changing world
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Human‐caused mortality of wildlife is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. Assessing the population‐level impact of fisheries bycatch and other human‐caused mortality of wildlife has typically relied upon deterministic methods. However, population declines are often accelerated by stochastic factors that are not accounted for in such ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 444-456, February 2022., 2022 Our findings highlight the need for conservation biological control to go beyond ‘one size fits all’ and consider the specific ecology of the involved organisms, even for a single crop type. Landscapes with high edge density and flowering woody plants may support natural enemies, in particular syrphids, which colonised the fields early in the season ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 1, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Increasingly intensive strategies to maintain biodiversity and ecosystem function are being deployed in response to global anthropogenic threats, including intentionally introducing and eradicating species via assisted migration, rewilding, biological control, invasive species eradications, and gene drives. These actions are highly contentious
